Mirrors (Sandra album)


Mirrors is the second studio album by German singer Sandra, released in 1986 by Virgin Records. The album spawned European top 10 singles "Innocent Love" and "Hi! Hi! Hi!".

Background

The album was produced by Michael Cretu and Armand Volker, and continued the synthpop-oriented style introduced on Sandra's first LP. The material was arranged with the use of such synthesizers as Akai S900, PPG, Linn 9000, Prophet 2002, Oberheim Xpander, Yamaha DX7 and Roland Super Jupiter. Mirrors saw more songwriting and singing involvement from Hubert Kemmler, who was already a popular singer in Germany under the name of Hubert Kah. The song "Don't Cry " was written in reaction to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
Four singles were released from this album. "Innocent Love" was the lead single and reached the top 10 in multiple European countries, followed by "Hi! Hi! Hi!", which was a top 10 hit in Sandra's home country of Germany as well as Greece and Spain. The ballad "Loreen" and the uptempo "Midnight Man" were the album's third and fourth singles, and both achieved a moderate success across Europe.
The album did not quite repeat the success of Sandra's debut album, The Long Play, but still charted within the top 20 in Germany, Switzerland and Norway.
